My invention relates to improvements in lawn sprinklers and its objectis to provide a cheap, convenient and adjustable device for the purpose.

My invention consists essentially of a base having an upright supportthereon, upon which support is pivotally mounted a receiving chamberedmember adjustably secured by a pivot bolthaving a wing nut thereon, saidmember having on the other end a suitable spraying device, and alsobeing provided with a side branch or nipple to which the usual gardenhose may be attached to supply the chamber with water under QIESSIMG, aswill more fully appear by reference to the accompanying drawings, inwhich Figure l is an elevation of a device embodying I my invention;Fig. 2 the same shown at right angles to Fig. 1; Fig. 3 a plan view ofthe same; and Fig. 4 an enlarged detail of the pivot shown in verticalsection on the line 4c t of Fig. 1. i

Like numbers refer to like parts in all of the figures.

1 represents a base of any convenient form having thereon an upwardlyproject-- ing support or post 2 to the upper end of which is pivot-allyconnected a receiving chambered member 3 by means of a perforatedextension 6 on the lower end of the said member through which extensionand the supportextends a bolt 7 provided with a. wing nut whereby saidmember is adj ustably held in various positions to properly direct thespray from the sprinkler head either .of the pivot the describedvertically or inclined in either opposite direction at pleasure.

By attaching the hose at the side omember and projectingparallel with the hint;

adjustment of the said member is permitted.

From the "foregoing description the operation of my device is obvious.By means of this structure the water is directed either vertically orinclined in either direction about the axis of the pivot bolt asoccasion may require.

\Vhat I claim is 1. A lawn sprinkler,

comprising" a base, a projecting upward from the base, a receivingchambered member pivoted at one end to the post and having a sprinklerat the other end and means for connecting' a hose to the said member atone side or the same, and proiecting substantially parallel. with theaxis of the pivot 2.
